Welcome all of you attending this symposium in person. As well as our audience on cspan to this Second Annual symposium on constitutional issues. This year, we examine the 15th amendment and invite a conversation as our Program States on suffrage in light of the hopes and realities of american identity and governance. In many ways, this university is the ideal venue for such a conversation. Envisioned as a Great National episcopal institution by a group of founding bishops in the 1850s, the university of the south by 1860 possessed more than 6,000 acres of land on the Cumberland Plateau in tennessee.

Theyre gone now, but the city that has replaced them in many ways was seated by that building, the ford museum was seeded by that building, the ford museum, which was opened in 1981, located downtown at president fords insistence in the hope that it might, in fact, spark the beginnings of an urban renewal, a genuine u
This pool of resistant bacteria and so we put so many antibiotics in the animals that its a tremendous factor in the rise of antibiotic resistance, so thats how it happens and thats why we need to put a brake on it. Thank you. I have a question. Youre saying its about 60 40 . Change the question a little bit. Do you look at how Social Security so prevalent the species that do not end up getting it, why do they not end up getting it . What is it that makes it good at spreading host to host and why is it in some hosts and not others, why not, for example, at any of us or fish or mammals or its in some worms which come from a very Different Branch of the animal kingdom. Thats also interesting to those because those warms cause severe tropical diseases and if you kill all, you are able to kill the diseases, a different story. But yeah, a lot of biology that we dont understand. Why is it so good at jumping from host to host . Is it just because it spreads vertically throughout the populatio
University level.
